My 2000 Johnson is bogging and stalling out all the time. It tends to struggle starting up if it hasn't been used in a while, but runs fine for a few minutes at idle speed. The more I use it, the better it behaves. However, it eventually starts to bog and shutter and maxes out at about 2-3 knots at 3500rpm when in gear at wot. It has recently started to stall and REALLY struggles to start back up. The strange thing is that it usually can rev all the way up in neutral, even while its bogging. Also, it seems to be worse when in choppy seas, but could just be a coincidence. It also has gotten worse over time. I just recently got the gas tank cleaned out, which contained water, and it worked for a couple days before going back to the same problems. Any suggestions?
